Have any of you tried Immersion Silver yet?
We just had our first design coated with silver,
I've read plenty of articles and never heard
anything bad about it (and before you old-timers
say it, they've pretty much solved the "whiskers
/dendrites" problem I think)

...but what I heven't seen is a typical fab note
or the recommended thickness tolerance.

Informal Poll:
If you are using silver as an alternative finish,
what are you calling out for the tolerance?

Jack (the "willing to try new things" guy)

p.s. the new issue of "The Board Authority"
by Circuitree has some great articles about
this, but they aren't letting people download
back issues anymore! Does anyone have
old copies of "The Board Authority" on disk?
